Summary

Think of adoption this way– a father doesn't get a 9-month connection by carrying the baby in utero, but he still falls in love the first time he sees it. And that's what happens for both parents when you adopt. My latest Deep Dive episode is up, and it's all about the wonderful option of adoption. For the next few weeks, you will see it here in my Call of the Day podcast feed.
